(37,573 posts)IF they get sick leave and I do not. Otherwise if I earn 10 hours of sick leave and they earn ten hours of sick leave then we are in the same boat. But we are NOT in the same boat if I get 10 hours of sick leave, but they get 10 hours of sick leave AND 160 hours of maternity leave.
Also, I might note, since you have children and grandchildren - you are arguing for something that would benefit YOU.
Both genders can take maternity leave? Well, isn't that special? Doesn't do a damned thing for an incel though, does it? Or for other people unable to have children.
"Your job is to do your job regardless of circumstances. To rail against perceived advantages that others recieve that do not apply to your situation is selfish and churlish. "
Right? Does that apply to all of the "equal pay for equal work" whining? Does that even apply to the demand for "paid maternity leave"?
So it is selfish to complain when people who are better off than you get benefits that you have to pay for, but it is NOT selfish to demand those benefits for yourself or your children?
